Waiting periods and deadlines are so ubiquitous that we often take
them for granted. Yet they form a critical part of any democratic
architecture. When a precise moment or amount of time is given
political importance, we ought to understand why this is so. The
Political Value of Time explores the idea of time within democratic
theory and practice. Elizabeth F. Cohen demonstrates how political
procedures use quantities of time to confer and deny citizenship
rights. Using specific dates and deadlines, states carve boundaries
around a citizenry. As time is assigned a form of political value
it comes to be used to transact over rights. Cohen concludes with a
normative analysis of the ways in which the devaluation of some
people's political time constitutes a widely overlooked form of
injustice. This book shows readers how and why they need to think
about time if they want to understand politics.
